Distributed Takes Executive Action

Distributed Energy Systems (DESC Quote) said Darren R. Jamison will leave next week as president of its Northern Power Systems unit to take the CEO post at Capstone Turbine (CPST Quote).

The Wallingford, Conn., company said Ambrose L. Schwallie, Distributed Energy's chief executive, will become Northern Power's president on an interim basis.

"The search for Darren's replacement is now under way," Mr. Schwallie said. "With the good work he has done during the past three years and the strong management team we've built at Northern, we have the people in place to continue to manage and grow this important part of the company in the months and years ahead."

Distributed also named Betsy Anderson acting chief operating officer of Northern Power.
